Abstract
Systems and methods of grain drying using radio frequency waves while maintaining low temperature are disclosed herein. The method and systems described herein use radio frequency waves to dry harvest crops at low temperatures. Specifically, the system and method includes minimizing temperature increases caused by dielectric radio frequency heating while increasing intermolecular hydrogen bond disruption.
Claims1
A radio frequency de-bonding system for drying biomass at low temperatures, the system comprising:
- a drying cavity;
- a radio frequency injector arranged within the drying cavity;
- a radio frequency generator electrically coupled to the radio frequency injector;
- a central controller communicatively coupled to the radio frequency injector and the radio frequency generator, wherein the radio frequency injector emits radio frequency electromagnetic waves created by the radio frequency generator into the biomass at a frequency, intensity, and rate controlled by the central controller.
